Fullscreen 1.1

Display fullscreen images on multiple displays (updated)

Description

The package contains an m file for displaying fullscreen matlab images. The user can specify the display number for the image to be shown. This is a cross platform solution using Java function built into Matlab 7.x and has been tested on Windows and Linux machines.

seems to work well, could be nicely improved with scaling abilities.

It works well in Windows 7; however, I shared my code with an OSX user and it apparently only displays a black screen instead of an image. Any suggestions?

[Alejandro Camara Iglesias]

In Windows 7 with Matlab 2010b, the JFrame set to fullscreen via setFullScreenWindow(myjframe) iconifies when it looses the focus.

To prevent this behavior you can set the location of the frame via setLocation (as it is being done right now) and also set the dimensions of the frame to the screen resolution via setSize(bounds.height, bounds.width).

You would only need to change the line:

gds(device_number).setFullScreenWindow(frame_java);

with:

frame_java.setSize( bounds.height, bounds.width );

I hope it helps :-)

Very nice, but I have a problem.
It can't display the fullscreen image under Linux 2.6.24 and X.Org X Server 1.6.4 on the second screen. Is there any solution?

[Zoltan]

I found the solution: under Linux it is important to have the second screen activated at the moment MATLAB starts. ( http://www.mathworks.ch/help/techdoc/ref/rootobject_props.html )
